I say “if” because our priorities change daily, so you may not finish those three and the next day the three may need to be different. This can happen when any of the three are large ongoing tasks. For myself, these could be user support or coding an application.

If you want to tighten the list to goals achievable that day, you could qualify the items. e.g. Two hours of user support; Answer 10 support requests; Code feature X; etc

Paraphrased wisdom of an 82yo: Want to know the true state of your relationship? Check its resting pulse rate. That is, see how it is when you’re not working it. If it’s weak, so is the relationship. If it’s strong, so is the relationship.

Recently I learnt how to display messages on content list and content editor pages in admin, which has enabled me to put key info I kept getting asked bang in front of users (mainly what the screen is for and how to get more help).

Use one of these actions:

Content list: views_edit-{post type name}

Content editor: edit_form_after_title

The latter passes $post to your function (i.e. use myfunction($post)) , so grab that and use $post->post_type to check you’re on the right page before showing your message.
